CJ Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 As most of you will know, I am not the most technically adept member on the forum and as such, I am looking for help. The next stage in my work with Macmillan is to get corporate sponsorship to help me build MAC 1 - a promo car to be used at shows and events around the country to help raise much needed funds and to also highlight cancer awareness amongst males. I am currently putting together letters etc to send to potential sponsors but would also like to set up a web site to point them to which shows the aims and also the story behind what we are trying to achieve. it will also be used as a tool for showing the build progress and to display the pictures from events we will attend. But, and here's the thing, I have no idea how to go about this and have little or no money to pay for it either. Are there any members on here that can help me out? Thanks for reading.

Thorin Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 You'd be best off using something like Wordpress/Drupal I expect. I'm not really the man to speak to about setting up a site, but I'm sure I could sort out free hosting if need be. I've a linux VPS sat unused at the moment.

I have an offer of a years free hosting off Hemmjonny too so that part of things seems to be covered. I now need to register a domain name and sort out the site design.

I am going back on the 26th May just to finalise affairs out there.

neo2810 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 CJ, I'll happily knock up a wordpress based site for you. I'm a webdesigner who works outside that industry now but Wordpress is simple and quick, you just need to ply me with info and pics. I'll PM you my email address and a couple of example wordpress sites I've created and you can decide. Wordpress will allow you to control the content easily so I recommend taking that route.
